What replaced LMP1 in the WEC?
The Hypercar class replaced LMP1 as the WEC's top class for the 2021 season. The change ran in two stages: the LMP1-Hybrid era closed at the end of the 2019-2020 super-season, the 2020 Le Mans was the last LMP1 race of the WEC, and the Hypercar regulations went live at the start of the [2021 WEC season](/seasons/2021). Hypercar is a hybrid-mandatory class with two platform types under one performance window: LMH (manufacturer-built end to end) and LMDh (manufacturer engine and bodywork on a spec LMP2 chassis).
